<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Hrm. After some investigation: I'm not entirely sure. The simplest answer is "that's what qmake does" - defines QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS exactly when exceptions are disabled (note that exceptions are disabled by default for Qt itself, but enabled by default for all other code, including tests in Qt and applications using qmake as their build system).
You would have thought that enabling this only for the headers in Qt (but not for the library itself) would be dangerous - for example, QException is declared, but its methods will not be defined if Qt was not compiled with exception support.
As far as I can see, the only useful behaviour you get from making QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS match the compiler flags, rather than Qt's compilation flags, is that you can get QVERIFY_EXCEPTION_THROWN from QTest even when Qt was compiled without exceptions. But in other regards, I think there is the potential for some weird behaviour if QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS does not match how Qt was compiled.</pre>

When KDE_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS contains two arguments, they are currently a
single string containing those space-separated arguments. It can thus
be used as
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${KDE_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS}")
However, the proper way to set compile flags these days is to use
add_compile_options, as in
add_compile_options(${KDE_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS})
which requires KDE_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS to be a list.
Note that this change means that setting CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS like above NO
LONGER WORKS (as you will get the argument
-fexceptions;-UQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS added for GCC and Clang).</pre>
